Create events faster than you ever thought possible. Appoint learns how you schedule — suggesting titles, times, locations, and details before you finish typing. It's a calendar built for people who value their time. SMART INPUT Type "3pm" or "9-12am" and Appoint sets the time. Type "1.5h" and it sets the duration. Start typing a title and it suggests the rest — prefilling time, calendar, notes, and recurrence from your history. Contact names are detected automatically. All of this works in any language. EVERY VIEW YOU NEED Day, week, month, and list views — each designed for a different purpose. Pinch to zoom in day and week views. See relative dates in the list view ("today", "in 3 weeks"). Color-coded dots in month view show how busy each day is at a glance. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from over a dozen built-in color themes — or create your own from scratch. Light, dark, colorful, minimal — Appoint looks the way you want it to. Event colors adapt automatically to your chosen theme so everything stays readable and beautiful. Customize work hours, week start day, default duration, and preferred map app. DRAG & DROP Long-press to move events between times and days. Quickly reschedule without opening a single form. STATISTICS See exactly where your time goes. Break your schedule down by calendar and time period, spot your busiest days and recurring commitments, and watch the numbers update as you pick any date range. Export any range to CSV or ICS when you need the raw data. PRIVACY FIRST Your data stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud services, no tracking. Appoint works with iCloud, Google, Exchange, or any calendar service supported by iOS — but all the intelligence happens locally on your phone. SUN & MOON See sunrise and sunset times as subtle markers on your day and week timelines — calculated for your location, updating with the seasons. Moon phases appear on the month grid so you always know when the next full or new moon is. Astronomically accurate, no internet needed. Appoint only uses your approximate location — no precise tracking. WIDGETS Event countdown, upcoming schedule, sunrise & sunset forecast, and a full-year daylight chart — right on your home screen. Seven widgets in three sizes, each with theme support. ALSO INCLUDED - Powerful search across all fields and views - Scheduling conflict detection - Recurrence rules for repeating events - Multiple alarms and reminders - Invitations management - Integrated maps with turn-by-turn directions - Timezone support - Full iPad support Syncs with the built-in Calendar app — your events are always up to date. A one-time Appoint Pro purchase unlocks even more — no subscription, yours forever. Already bought Appoint? You already have Pro, with our thanks. feedback@appointcal.com

When something goes wrong, the right information should be easy to hand over. HarborKeep keeps your family's important records private on your iPhone and iPad, and turns the essentials into a one-page sheet someone else can use. PRINT AN EMERGENCY SHEET One page for the fridge or a sitter: the emergency number, your address and helpful household information, who to call, the people who live with you and their allergies and conditions, medications, doctors, and the home plan. Fields you mark private are left out, and the page explains when details could not be included. YOU CHOOSE WHAT GOES ON IT Start with the Emergency Sheet Guide, or pick each detail yourself. Add contacts from Apple Contacts without giving HarborKeep access to your whole address book, reuse contacts you've already saved, or type them in. Your address and each household member are separate choices, and each medication can say who takes it. Preview the page, then print, AirDrop, message, or save it to Files. ONE PLACE FOR WHAT MATTERS Keep insurance, identification, medical contacts, medications, legal papers, pets, and household records organized with categories, favorites, and related records. Pin what matters to the Emergency tab. Set optional reminders before policies and IDs expire, with notification text that keeps details private. PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTS THAT WORK FOR YOU Scan documents, extract text, and search what's inside them. Review photo tags and suggested dates, and decide what to apply. Analysis runs on your device. YOUR DATA, YOUR COPIES Create encrypted backups for free, and keep an offline recovery kit with them. The kit can open supported backups on a computer without HarborKeep, within documented size and format limits. Save a Readable Copy as PDFs and files you can open anywhere, with the option to leave out designated private fields. Review your copy before sharing. Recover deleted records from Recently Deleted for up to 30 days. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your records are encrypted before they're stored and protected by Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. Sync across your devices using the same Apple Account with iCloud and iCloud Keychain turned on. HarborKeep has no separate account, no ads, and no third-party tracking. ALSO INCLUDED Formatted notes and drawings with Plain, Lined, Grid, or Dots paper, share-sheet capture with Shared Inbox, encrypted drafts that survive interruptions, a password and passphrase generator, and AutoFill for saved logins. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL ONE-TIME UPGRADE Records, search, the emergency sheet, the Household Profile, encrypted backups, readable copies, and up to 12 attachments per record are free. HarborKeep Pro is a one-time purchase that adds unlimited custom category photos and up to 25 attachments per record. No subscription.
